The notoriously hot-headed paragon of progressives has left a bad taste in the mouths of fans after calling a U.K. reporter a "toxic little queen."

The kerfuffle started when George Stark wrote a piece published in the Daily Mail claiming that Alec's wife had been tweeting during James Gandolfini's funeral. The published gossip sent Alec over the edge as he set out to ring Starks' neck on Twitter in an avalanche of insults and threats directed at the writer.

Though one might laugh when they imagine Alec seething with impotent rage over his iPhone keyboard, a few tweets have upset his loyal liberal following, including:

Remember his tirade involving his daughter. Someone has anger issues. hey Alec if you read this I want you to know I thought you were hot when you were younger and would have welcomed you to put something up my ass other than your foot. But not now. You dont age well.
